Ying Wu is a Professor at the Fitzpatrick Institute for Photonics, Duke University, specializing in nonlinear dynamics of charged particle beams and coherent radiation sources. His research centers on the study of charged particle nonlinear dynamics utilizing modern techniques such as Lie Algebra, Differential Algebra, and Frequency Analysis. His work aims to enhance the understanding of nonlinear phenomena in light source storage rings and collider rings. Additionally, Wu's research focuses on improving the performance of these systems, thus guiding the development of next-generation storage rings. He is actively involved in the study and development of coherent radiation sources for broad-band far-infrared radiation and coherent millimeter-wave radiation using free-electron lasers. His work also addresses beam stability issues, specifically single bunch instabilities in storage rings, and seeks to develop diagnostics to monitor and enhance the stability of light source beams. Wu’s research is instrumental in laying the groundwork for advancing femto-second hard x-ray Compton back scattering radiation sources driven by millimeter-wave free-electron lasers.
